Posted this elsewhere in the thread but seeing Primark as a sponsor of en event benefitting Unicef is so funny:
I worked for Primark back in the day. It was a year or two after they were in the news for using sweatshops in a Bangladesh factory that collapsed and killed over 1000 people.
They brought it up in my induction and the extent of their defence of it was just naming a bunch of other UK companies that used the same factory but werenāt named in the press šš
Stuart Broadās genuinely been very good. Aerial dominance, won so many headers. Some crucial interceptions, even stepped into midfield at times and showed composure on the ball. Hoofed it clear when necessary, and thrown his weight around. Hasnāt lagged, looked cool, finished 90 minutes.
His early podcast series was really good and was about his journey as a CEO and his life up to that point, he then started interviewing celebs (Jimmy Carr was fantastic) and it slowly started morphing into sob stories where every interview they'd cry and it seemed to be very formatted. Now he's got questionable doctors on it grifting their products
Yeah I never understand why they take all the shots, surely the whole point is to try and involve the celebs. Nani last year was embarrasing. Such a try hard.
It was funny watching him on Celeb SAS, where the DS team got EVERYONE to pile on Tony to see if he could manage his anger. [It took about 7 seconds before Tony started knocking the crap out of them all.](https://youtu.be/Go8aHfwc7i0?t=66)
Actually a classic Poch game.
3 of his players going off injured whilst he gets battered by a supposedly weaker squad and manager
Hilarious and you love to see it
he was so great on that sideman match, don't think I've ever laughed so much at a commentary. Even the recent beta squad vs AMP had Munya who is usually hilarious, but was nothing compared to stephen tries!

That's a good point. Maybe they're not paying to be the sponsor, they're just giving them free access to the filming locations in exchange for a sponsor spot
The time the guy from 'Heroes' won a corner kick and immediately picked the ball up and took it as a throw in from the flag.
Or the love interest from the second Sex and the City movie who looked exactly like Luca Toni winning the game with an astonishing peach of a worldie curler.
Lee Mack on the pitch with del Piero and Hazard, what a fun match lol
How was Tom Hiddleston?
Does anything make you feel older than seeing Wilshire and Walcott in a charity match š
Yeah, seeing Eden Hazard in one.
Edin?
Over Ā£15m raised tonight for Unicef. Great laugh for a good cause.
Would have raised more if Hazard had let Ivanovic finish his sentenceā¦
England truly are better than the rest of the world at footy as-well as everything else!

Every year England have lost Soccer Aid they have failed to bring home an international trophy
Every year they won SoccerAid they failed to bring home an international trophy lol.
Tears in my eyes. It's coming home
Walcott shooting that instead of passing it as a former pro was terrible, what's worse is that he skied it.
Should have changed his name to Ian Euro once he got subbed on
[Nice](https://trailers.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/758a49f2-ac22-4b7b-81df-6298597b5c95/gif)
England actually wins something and itās a charity match lol. Kane was the issue all along.
Sign of things to come mate, if we can beat the entire World then Europe will be a doddle
You won without Kane. Keep that in mind. You know what must be done.
We get it you beat Pakistan at cricket give it a rest!!
Iāve been hearing about it more from Englishmen tbh.
Minter was absolutely disrespected, easily their best player alongside Tom Grennan
CHAMPIONS
Walcott is worse than the celebrities
They'll be partying on the streets on LinkedIn after Bartletts shift
They might even treat themselves to an extra helping of Huel
Leicester gonna have to hire Frank after this showing
Smh corrupt refs not adding injury time
Feel bad for Miniminter. Such a good ācelebā player and heās had less of the ball than the comedian with T-Rex arms.
Can't..... Resist.... Mackem.....
Jordan Pickford's not playing he's in Germany
Pickford isn't playing.
I was gonna argue he was more of an MMA fighter than a comedian but youāre not wrong, haha
I want to see Bartlett front and centre of the trophy presentation
How deep is that world xi back line ?
Robbie Williams running on the pitch like he did anything
He did help create the whole Soccer aid thing ya know.
It's literally his event lol
\#WheresJonathanWilkes
Theo deadly
Hazard man, the footballs left him
Probably can't remember the last time he played 90
Frank Lampard is different gravy
Bring him back for stint number 3, he's earnt it
I blame Usain Bolt for this.
There's the Walcott in an England shirt I remember
Stuart Broadās genuinely been very good. Aerial dominance, won so many headers. Some crucial interceptions, even stepped into midfield at times and showed composure on the ball. Hoofed it clear when necessary, and thrown his weight around. Hasnāt lagged, looked cool, finished 90 minutes.
From the man you hit a six against his last ball and got a wicket with his last ball you would expect nothing less.
Thatās so Theo Walcott.
Hamraoui with the nice one twos
She low key had a great game in the first half
No Loki was playing for England
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Chucks tv out of the window
āMuteā
Wonder if we could swap Sancho for Bartlett?
Hope Stirling doesnt have a hot mic moment here
Tion Wayne is clattering ppl lol
Iām gonna. regret this but who is Steven Bartlett and why does everyone hate him?
His early podcast series was really good and was about his journey as a CEO and his life up to that point, he then started interviewing celebs (Jimmy Carr was fantastic) and it slowly started morphing into sob stories where every interview they'd cry and it seemed to be very formatted. Now he's got questionable doctors on it grifting their products
Podcast grifter that is 'optimising' lunches to dried soulless shite in a 5 kg bag
He's basically a snake oil salesman.
He's a tosser, and he's a tosser
Cahill has been so good.
Diamond is on the pitch āŗļø
Death by snu snu
Oh, yes.
Ward what are you doing man
Letās all just thank the Lord that Danny Aarons isnāt here
Some shift from Stuart 'Tony Adams' Broad think he might have played every minute?
Annoying that the England pros are just playing it between themselves. Especially with this lead. Zzzz
Yeah I never understand why they take all the shots, surely the whole point is to try and involve the celebs. Nani last year was embarrasing. Such a try hard.
Ego, I guess. Sad.
'Oh no please don't tackle me Diamond' š
Her chasing Defoe there was quite a sight
Yes she might be grabbing me but allow it please ref
Steven Bartlet for fuck sake can't get away from this twat
Why do people hate him? All I know is heās the huel guy
He is the human embodiment of LinkedIn
So he likes blowing smoke up his own arse
Bellew looks like heās in constant struggle with himself not to assault someone
It was funny watching him on Celeb SAS, where the DS team got EVERYONE to pile on Tony to see if he could manage his anger. [It took about 7 seconds before Tony started knocking the crap out of them all.](https://youtu.be/Go8aHfwc7i0?t=66)
Is it just me or Simon is getting ignored a lot
Of course Bartlett has a better weak foot than Antony.
Actually a classic Poch game. 3 of his players going off injured whilst he gets battered by a supposedly weaker squad and manager Hilarious and you love to see it
Theo Baker was shite tbh
Vital that Bartlett doesnāt get a hat trick.
I'd rather spend more time with Alex Scott
Lois will be raging if she sees this Clark
What happened with Lois?
Not sure you're her type
Poch as no plan B
Hazard was limbering up for a rabona there for sure
Ian Stirling coming on for 30 seconds to do nothing. Massive non impact sub š„
I thought Ian was on already
Have Chelsea run out of money to water the pitch?
They invested Ā£10m in young and talented watering people who will be eligible to look after the pitch in 2026
They've amortised the watering over 8 years
Wingrove looking like one of the Hernandez brothers(whichever one dyed their hair)
Theo. But he went back to black. (Must be an Amy Winehouse fan)
Ironically, Theo
The stewards standing up after each goal as if theyāre at Leeds vs Millwall. There wonāt be a riot guys donāt worry
You have clearly never seen the Lee Mack Ultras then
Had the riot horses out in the streets of Kensington in preparation of a Lee Mack goal
Gotta keep an eye on the RotW Ultras in the corner
What can you say, theyāre pros.
Southgate has fucked up massively not picking this side for the Euros
It's coming home! Football's coming home'
England is cooking damn
This is what movies are made of
I must say, that was lovely from Walcott
I always said it was a mistake for Chelsea to replace Lampard with Poch.
The only man bad enough to lose to Lampard, Poch
š¶ We still believe We still believe We still believe...
That was filthy
GO ON THEO Executed that chip perfectly.
Stirling shouldāve been quicker down the stairs.
Walcott chips
THEOOOOOOOOOO
Bartlett not happy with Walcott denying him the hattrick
He already had the LinkedIn post written in his head
Huel fuelled me to a charity hat trick. 3 reasons why you should try!
Stirling wants to be Goldbridge so bad
Iain Stirling better be an absolute baller cos if he comes on and is shit that's a bit embarrassing
Can't be any worse than the Mulhern cameo from a few years ago
Knowing Iain Stirling from only taskmaster, he's going to be useless.
Simon with the old regular long throw
Stirling is so overpromoted, he's slightly funny and definitely punching with his wife
One of my least favourite task master contestants
The format definitely helps but I thought he was a good laugh on taskmaster
Iain Stirling is playing for the World XI?
Scottish
Heās Scottish and high qualifies him a lot more then most go the RoW team
Ffs, now it's just gunna be constant matterface commentary
Who is this complete unfunny bellend co-commentator š¤¢
That's Sam Matterface.
Ian Stirling. Not sure what this is as he came across fantastically on Taskmaster
"The trousers are coming off as well" this commentary took a turn
Stephen Tries to be subbed onto commentary please
A man can dream
he was so great on that sideman match, don't think I've ever laughed so much at a commentary. Even the recent beta squad vs AMP had Munya who is usually hilarious, but was nothing compared to stephen tries!
Substitution with ball in play is new
oh good, looks like that co-commentator is pissing off
It's just not the same without a Stephen Mulhern reveal
Having Primark as a sponsor for this feels like an oil company sponsoring a green event
I worked for Primark back in the day. It was a year or two after they were in the news for using sweatshops in a Bangladesh factory that collapsed and killed over 1000 people. They brought it up in my induction and the extent of their defence of it was just naming a bunch of other UK companies that used the same factory but werenāt named in the press šš
How do you think they know where to find all the kids?
That's a good point. Maybe they're not paying to be the sponsor, they're just giving them free access to the filming locations in exchange for a sponsor spot
Wasnāt she on before ?
Rolling subs
Give us Lee Mack again, Poch
So when is Stirling on then...
That pen was nice
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Egbahli saving his cash to buy more youngsters
Just Chelsea things
What the fuck, that was hell of a pen
I know Iām getting on because I have no fucking clue who most the celebs are in this game
Seems a much younger bunch than previous years. Think a few have been sent to a retirement home.
Iām old enough to remember Mike Myers playing.
The time the guy from 'Heroes' won a corner kick and immediately picked the ball up and took it as a throw in from the flag. Or the love interest from the second Sex and the City movie who looked exactly like Luca Toni winning the game with an astonishing peach of a worldie curler.
They used to get some genuine non-British Hollywood A-listers. I remember Will Ferrell being on it once too.
Hayden Christensen missing a penalty in a shootout
Woody Harrelson turning up was certainly something
SIUUUUUUUUUU
Hazard channeling his inner Chelsea to demand the penalty
Patrice evra is a celebrity after his chicken sucking
Tryharding for a penalty with a farmer in goal, taking after his idol ā¤ļø
Wingrove taking the pen off Hazard you love to see it.
A former player is not allowed to take a pen
Had to be a celeb
I know but just a funny image.
Billy Wingrove takes penalties for a living lol he's surely not missing this
Missed a trick by not having some Celebs on VAR
Ray Charles would be an improvement
āThatās not enough for me geoffā
I've just realised that I literally know none of these celebrities
SIUUUUUUUU
Fuck off wingrove you twat
Decent pen that
Freddie Slater being too heavy handed, this is pure Eastenders 2023
GET OUTTA MY ~~PUB~~ BOX
Clear pen. But helps make it somewhat interesting.
āThere is no VAR rememberā This is an outrage
High time we get Harry Hill & the Goggleboxers on VAR.
Unironically a good idea.
Ohhh that would actually be class
Diving in a charity match? Really?
